Drinking the juice of beetroot, known for its controversial anti-carcinogenic properties, can boost stamina and help individuals exercise for longer times.
Previous studies had reported that beetroot juice is effective in lowering blood pressure. The juice was also believed to have cleansing properties and therefore was used to clear liver and splenic obstructions.
According to a study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology, beetroot juice can improve exercise capacity by 16 percent. The effect is reported to be greater than that achieved through regular training.
